crash test pilot

reading the description on their site it says one led and two ground prong per led, so you can make a common ground chain.

The diamond shaped plate is crimped to the connector and prevents the connector from falling into the base. I use my Warthog grip with the Warbird base, and screwing it at an angle is really comfty for a centered setup.

If you take a closer look into the control reference, you will see that the switch3pos just asks you for two pins. So DCS-BIOS takes care for the programming hassle; you can use a on-off-(on) switch. If the switch is neither up nor down it is in the middle position. Thanks to Ian!

I second that. Love mine!

The X52 stick does not work on its own, it must be plugged into its respective throttle. The warthog throttle is a standalone-device and works fine with any other standalone stick. So if you plan to use it with the X52, you need to run two throttles.

Hello and a big Thank you. I shamelessly copied much of your work (without your labour, pics and guidance i would never had started my own pit) and am trying to replicate your CDU. My question is: how do the f-keys work? I did not find anything in the DCS-BIOS documentations to help me. Do you use a keyboard-controller of some sort? And again: Thanks! You are a real inspiration. Greetings from germany

Cougar stick CMS has no push. But the stick works on a warthog base.

With arduino best use 10k-ohm potis.

Well... I learned a lot about electronics, but I still cannot fly a decent coordinated turn

I just changed the numbering in the sketch... good luck and have fun! edit: had a look, I think I bought the same... for the rest of my displays the digits are numbered 7;6;5;4;3;2;1;0 and this one is numbered 0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7

I have max7219 displays from different vendors. One counts the digits backwards, so i had to adapt the code to that one display. Running fine.

Very much more near to Deltaalphalima then to you...(Germany;))

#2243 arrived today, took me less than ten minutes to install and calibrate. Works like a charm! No one dare to talk to me the rest of the week...

Order #2243 shipped - feeling like a dad-to-be...

"COMMUNCIATION" seems to be correct; my new chinese mega-clone (looking identical to yours) is labeled with all pins acording to arduino-specs but still says "COMMUNCIATION"

As far as I understand the resistors are not needed to protect the nano but the LED. Without it will burn after lighting up once. Maybe you can search for LEDs with build-in resistors. Greetings

real helmet for flightsim I was lucky to score an old HGU-55 (german airforce F-4) to put on my shelf, and i tried it once for the immersion - fail! Its heavy, cramped, the sound is bad unless you spend a fortune and rework the whole thingymagogs. I love wearing my bonebag (aka aviator onesie) and my gloves - but stay away with that clunky brainshell from me! But yes - I had to try it... Greetings

Amazing. Just amazing. I will surely profit from your work. Thank you!

I destroyed my first Eyetoy also. I took a cheat chinacam and screwed the lens array into the Eyetoy. For headtracking you dont need a perfectly clear and sharp picture, the cam just needs to localise the light points. I call it Frankencam now.

Nvidia Surround gives your game one virtual monitor, which is flat. It also only works with three (or six, or nine...) identical monitors. Setting the same resolution to different monitors does not enable Surround. Greetings
